I have older prime lenses for my 30+ year old Nikon F2, will they be adaptable for the 600?

If your older prime lenses are AI or AIS they will work great on you D600. I have six AIS lenses that I use on my D600 with great results. However, if your lenses are the older pre-AI lenses they may damage the sensor so be careful. You can google online to learn how to determine if your lenses are AI or AIS.

Holly,I don't know specifically how that lens would work on the D600. I haven't used any old lenses on my D600 yet. But I have used some old lenses I had for my Nikon FE on my D90 and they would work, BUT they can only be used in completely manual mode (manually setting your shutter speed, F-Stop and Focus), so you have to calculate your exposure the old fashioned way based on lighting conditions, ISO setting, etc - to figure out the what's the correct Shutter/F-Stop combo to use. Since the D600, D90 and the FE all use the F-mount, the older lenses should mount on the D600 and work as they did on my D90. Holly,I don't know specifically how that lens would work on the D600.

Hey Holly. That's one of the benefits of Nikon and the F mount. So long as it's F mount it will work. Their lens mount has evolved over the years, but it was always backwards compatible. I have a few lenses that are in the 30 year range and have no issues with them. By all means use them! some of those are gems.Acutally i only use a 50mm 1.2 AIS on my D600... and that's 31 years old.

I have a couple of older auto focus lenses that work great with the D600. You can do a Google search for "Nikon lens compatibility", and you can find charts that show which lenses work with which cameras.

The answer is yes...conditionally. They need to be AI, AI-S series lenses. There is no AF with these lenses; metering modes may be restricted, as well as program modes. As Dan says, many of the lenses can made compatible, but not all.

It should work just fine, this is a great advantage of the Nikon's f-mount over Canon...

The lens should work fine, but it will not autofocus on the D60. Only AF-S lenses autofocus on the lower end Nikon dslr's (D40/D40x/D60).

I have no idea. I'd call Nikon. They say that old Nikon lenses will work with old Nikon cameras but theer may be limitations.

I can't say for sure about your equipment. I can tell you that I have a Nikon D90 and D7000 and older model Tamron 35-135 and 70-210 lenses. The adapter works perfectly for me and allows me to continue using my older lenses that make great shots. I had thought about selling the lenses but at the going rate you can't expect much. Now though, I have two valuable lenses that I am still able to use.

Yes. I had a D60 and used the earlier version of this lens (Canon 28-350 f/3.5-5.6). It fits and works fine. I currently have a 50D and 1DX that I use this lens on.

Hi, Yes that should work. What you will loose is the f stop, please see that you should have a f stop of 2.8 or higher. With my 2.8 f stop lens it goes to f 5.6.

Hi Makikonu, Yes you can use old third party lenses by using a proper adapter. -Anthony

Yes, you'll be able to use that lens with the Fotodiox adaptor. And remember that you'll be using it manually.
1377047
Yes it will definitely work. I am using mine on old FD primes, zooms, telephotos and bellows. You just need to control the aperture of the lens manually. If you love FDs, you should buy more than 1 of this adapter.Thanks.

If they were used on a Pentax camera YES. I have a number of old lens from an ME and type K Pentax film camera. You need to follow the instructions from Pentax. Manual settings for the old film cameras

I have a Nikon D 7000. And unless I'm mistaken, this lens should work. Nikons has they have a reputation re their lenses being able to fit older Nikon bodies as well. As an example, my old Nikkormat FT2 lenses will fit on my D7000. And I just tried it and it does!!! Good luck!

One of the great things about Nikon is Nikkor lenses for years will fit mechanically almost all Nikon cameras. However, this lens is designed for full frame models so you will not get the full value or capability of the lens with a D60. I'd suggest a different lens model at less cost although you may not get the full range of this remarkable lens.

Yes, my old K-mount lenses work fine with my K-50. However, you'll have to experiment with exposure settings and manually set the f-stop and shutter speeds (plus manual focus of course). But it's a great advantage if you already have some old high-quality lenses in your kit.

Works fine on other lenses I have with f/2.8 or wider aperture, should on that gem of a lens you have. Image quality always suffers slightly at the pixel level almost any time more individual glass lending elements are added, one of the reasons you buy a prime lens like yours to start with.

You will need to purchase a adaptation set. I previously had one for other lenses/filters, so it wasn't a problem, but I can see where this might be frustrating if you did not have these.

If you are talking about old film lenses, they are, but you must buy an adapter so you can use the old lenses. Also keep in mind that a film lens of 50mm,say, converts into a 100mm focal length on the Micro 4/3rds digital format.I can't remember the exact designation for the adapter, but the ones offed on Amazon are self-explanatory.

It depends on the lenses. Today lenses have plastic bodies, Up to 300 mm they should be no problem, I guess. I am considering both, but for other reasons, and I am waiting for a good sale. I saw a Zcostco offer of 60D with a 55-250 (? maybe,) lens at a good price.
